50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Clarendon Hills

“The restaurant is clean, cozy, and well-kept, creating a very pleasant dining experience. The owner is extremely kind and welcoming. The dish in the photo was specially prepared upon request, and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!“

“Food took a long time but it was good! We waited 2 hours for all the food on father's day, ordered the 5 course meal. but in the moments we were waiting our waiter Christine kept our drinks full and kept us laughing, she made the experience better and the food worth the wait.“

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

“After going the first time I knew I'd be coming back. The staff is so kind and the service is remarkably quick. The food is unbelievably delicious. Favorites of ours are the soup dumplings, the green beans, and the scallion pancakes. We've also gotten the beef dumplings, fried rice, orange chicken, combo chow mein, crab rangoons, and pork buns - all of which were great. The dan dan noodles fell a little flat for us. I really liked the stir fried pancake but it's not for everyone. Both times I've gone with a small group (4-6 people) and it took a little time to get seated (<20 mins) but it was the dinner rush and their dining space is admittedly on the smaller side - maybe 6 tables with 20-25 seats total? Overall my friends and I love this place and will definitely be coming back again and again!“

“It’s everything you want from a Chinese place. I honestly don’t believe any review less than 5 stars. Our area is plagued by bad to mid at best Chinese food, and Moy Yuen is a shining star (5 stars!). Everything we order is always delish and cooked quickly. The phone order is efficient with no delays. Try orange chicken, general chicken, lo mein, Mongolian beef, and Singapore noodles. And don’t forget the egg roll. The place is no frills but consistently great above average Chinese food in the Western Suburbs.

“Been going here for over 45 years and never had one bad meal. The remodeled restaurant is fantastic and very comfortable.“

“The most authetic chinese food- nothing like Panda express but the real deal. They have lunch specials as well. Tired the fish lunch special and the cumin lamb, must try. Small but newer space and better than the bigger resturants in the area.“

“Great food. Friendly new owner“

“This is the second time we've ordered from here, and the food tastes great.
We ordered KUNG BAO DELIGHT, and it was very tasty, and the portion was very large.
We also ordered COMBINATION FRIED RICE, and it tasted great, but I asked to make spicy, and they didn't prepare it properly.
We also ordered EGG ROLLS, and they were delicious and a good size, but the CRAB RAGOONS were good, but a little over-fried.
Highly recommended.“

“great people, food is great and the portions of the food is awesome“

“nice service, food ok, prices & portions ok“

“Always have a great experience here! Food is indeed very fresh. Tastes amazing and the service is just excellent.
If you’re reading some of the other negative reviews from before I urge you to not listen to them. This place has come a long way and is much much better. I work right next door to here and come here all the time and my coworkers love this place too! Really one of the only good Chinese restaurants around the area anymore.“

“I love the food here, and the customer services is great“

“I find some of the low reviews here baffling. I think some people may be confusing this restaurant with other Chinese restaurants due to its rather non descript name. Make no mistake, the food here is excellent and punches way above its price point.Coming in the first time I was pessimistic. It seemed your standard pre prepared food menu ready to dish out quickly to the lunch crowd panda express style. I quickly became a huge fan after eating large well prepared portions I would expect from a normal sit down restaurant. Yes it's your standard generic fare but made so much better.Great food, great price. Appreciate these places, the owners care about making something good.“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“The combination rice was very good, and the crab rangoons were also delicious. The Kung Pao chicken, however, lacked flavor and seasoning, and the chicken quality wasn’t the best. The egg rolls were a nice size, but they also needed more flavor. The guy at the front was super helpful and very sweet.“

“I’ve moved from Chicago to Melrose Park, and it’s been hard trying to find a good Chinese place that has good spice, not sweet spice. Best place in the area to get spicy fried rice, lady who takes the order is really nice and they get the order done fast.“

“Dine in is wonderful, staff is great, tables are nice and ambience is good. We ordered the Happy family and the pho, 10/10 stars all around. I would totally recommend this place to eat out with friends and family, they accommodate you really well. Owners are very very nice and humble. I’ve ordered Togo a lot of times before and it’s always been quick and fresh. They have a bar with many many selections. This is a family owned business I think so I try to be patient. This is my go-to spot whenever I want any type of asain dish!“

“Great spot for authentic Chinese food! The dishes were hot, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and very clean, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely wonderful. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Just fantastic. My absolute favorite Chinese spot in the suburbs. Food comes out HOT and is prepared soon as you order. Wait time is usually ~15min for a regular sized order. I like sitting in their main area enjoying the sun streaming through the windows. Great family. Great food. Totally recommend.“

“Tried takeout from them for the first time yesterday and it’s REALLY good.

The BBQ pork Lo-Mein is incredible.

We’ve been looking for a new Chinese restaurant and it’s looking like Moon Temple is going to be our go to from now on.

The portions are a great value too.

They give you a lot of food for how much you pay for it.

And not to mention a lot of meat.

Like for once I didn’t have to order double meat/extra meat, what they give you is plenty.

Definitely the best Chinese restaurant around.“

“Food was cooked perfectly. Large portions and absolutely delicious. Very friendly and fast service! Julie and I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Absolutely the best Chinese restaurant ever!! The pork fried rice is a 10 star and their pork lo mien is outstanding! As soon as I get back to the Chicago area I make a point to eat here and bring some back with me! I can’t stress enough how delicious their food is!!!“

“Wifey & I were having a couple brews down the road with friends when they’d mentioned they ate Chinese the night before so I got a craving for it! The closest Chinese restaurant was Jade Garden so I placed an order for chicken fried rice, Kung pao chicken, veggie lo mein, & 2 egg rolls. The order came with a side of white rice too. It was sooo much food; I had 2 plates worth to get my fill while my wife had 1. The next 2 days I ate leftovers for breakfast; I also passed along some food for my mom to try when I went to visit her. There was still enough remaining after all that for my wife to have a hearty lunch! Including tax it was $39ish which I felt was reasonable considering the sheer amount of food we received. Would very happily order from here again!“

“The food was so delicious and fresh tasting. Good job everyone that works there. Me and my parents will be definitely be coming back. This is the best Chinese food In Illinois. I highly recommend coming here.“

“We are regulars to Lao Sze Chuan. I personally think the food is very good!“

“Food was delicious,as always! Fresh veggies, done just right. And Danny is always attentive.“

“Got take out, hot and sour soup was not like other hot and sour soups I've gotten - this one had a thicker and whiter broth than I've seen before, and pieces of chicken in it; no veggies or tofu, just mushrooms and chicken. But it tasted good and not oily or clumpy. Chicken lo mein was also good - the small portion is actually quite large, with large pieces of chicken that didn't seem overly processed. Everything was hot and fresh when I picked up, and not overly greasy (I believe the menu says no MSG also). The prices were rather high compared to other strip mall Chinese food, but portions are large. The dining area wasn't the cleanest, probably wouldn't eat in, but the kitchen seemed clean to me and no hair or anything in the food. I would go back to try some other dishes.“

“Delicious Chinese food! Family friendly atmosphere! Attentive service!“

“We have recently started ordering from this resturant and we are very big fans!
Crab Rangoons 5/5
Spring Rolls 5/5
Sweet and Sour Chicken 5/5
Fried Rice 4/5 (fried rice is my favorite so 5/5 is difficult to get lol)

The owner is so sweet as well“

“Food is delicious 😋 price is high but huge portions so it's worth what you pay my only complaint is the pot stickers don't get me wrong they are tasty just the pot sticker dough could be a but thinner too thick and when fried very dry otherwise this place is pretty decent.“

“I’m way overdue w a review. Ordered from here for delivery countless times and they NEVER disappoint! Always quicker than expected with delivery and arrives super hot. Just tried the Beef with Bok Choy and they knocked it out of the park.“

“First time having food here and it was delicious. The price was very reasonable and the portions were huge!
This will be my new spot for Chinese food.
Also no tummy ache the next day which has happened to me before after different Chinese restaurants.“

“My food was very yummy, the staff and service was also top notch!“

“Local favorite Chinese take out. Have been longtime happy customer.

Singapore noodles - delectably spicy- and Shrimp Kungpao are consistently delicious.

Amy and Stephen are always taking good care of customers.

Fortune cookies are always entertaining…“

“I've been coming to this place consistently for years and their dishes don't disappoint. It's what you expect from your local Chinese cuisine and I love it. They know how to make extra spicy, ACTUALLY spicy which is refreshing! I've also graduated to trying the Yu Xiang dishes and they are fantastic! I love their sauces and am never afraid to try something new due to their consistency. I'm not a fan of the egg rolls (too peanutty for me), but all the appetizers are great too.

Coco, the young lady who is typically at the front, is so nice. Since I've been coming so long it's nice to feel a familiar welcome when I come in.“

“Love this place. Best we've had in a long time. Fresh and yummy.“

“Yum. Always consistent. Always our favorite.“

“Visited for the first time over the weekend. Had a wonderful time, loved the large varied menu, loved the food, loved my drinks, and really loved the performance by Denny Diamond! Three of us in our group and we can’t wait to return! Ordered many food and drink items from the menu because we were all trying the food for the first time and between the three of us, every item was a hit, with no misses. Will be back in August for Denny Diamond’s next performance!“

“After Golden Chopsticks closed down, I found this place and it is honestly just as good, if not better, than Golden Chopsticks!

Parking: Parking can be an issue depending on time of day. Parking spots are always available, but sometimes you need to park in front of a store a few doors down.“

“Love the owner nice and friendly. They make the best Beef and Broccoli. Beef is tender and flavorful and the rice with nice chunks of pork is delicious. It’s so good it’s the only thing I order. Make sure to try the lunch specials and dinner combo meals.“

“They have great luncheon specials with generous portions and a free egg roll. I love hot and spicy dishes; my favorite is Kung Pao Beef which has a ton of flavor (nice heat), a lot of beef, peanuts and very tasty fried rice. I also like their Shrimp Egg Foo Yung. The other reviewer here is totally wrong. Either he needs to add soy sauce or maybe he was going through chemotherapy and had lost his sense of taste. Their service is also terrific and if you phone in your order ahead of time it will be piping hot ready for pickup iun about 15 minutes within 15 minutes.“

“Have been here in a while. Glad I swung on in. The Kung Pao Chicken here is interesting. They use Jalapeño peppers instead of the traditional red chili peppers. A combination of the heat and taste of the peppers gave the dish a unique zing. I will definitely be back to get another order!“

“Always on point with your order. Chuck you will be missed my friend 🙏“

“My daughter and I stumbled on arriving to this restaurant. The environment was beautiful and it looked very elegant. The food was delicious. I told my daughter that we will return because we loved everything about this restaurant and want to try other food with my son too.“

“Great restaurant they deserve more love. It’s tucked right in the middle of the plaza & the atmosphere is very cozy & quiet. Staff are immediately very hospitable & helpful. Sashimi was amazing, the freshest sashimi I’ve ever had. I saw another review stating how it melts in your mouth & I’d have to agree. Miso soup was also very fresh & flavorful. The Shrimp with mixed vegetables was fantastic, all the vegetables are crunchy and quality & shrimp are huge. Portions are a steal for the price.“

“The BEST Spicy Tuna Hand Rolls on the planet!“

“I really enjoyed the fried bread crueller thing with fresh soy milky. The beef stew was also really good, same with the rice ball. I tried to be adventurous and tried the stinky tofu and it was nitty my cup of tea. Friends liked it though. I'd go back.“

“Love Golden Wok ! Chicken Jalapeño Fried Rice is so delicious . Spicy but not overly spicy - so good Egg Rolls and Crab Rangoon are the best General Tso’s Chicken fantastic !“

“We like coming here for some Taiwanese classics. I recommend the pork stick rice tower, pork pie, oyster omelette, and the pork potage with noodles. They also make tasty drinks. I recommend the fruit smoothies. The shop is run by a few older people, so please be patient with them as they prepare your order.

Saying this because I saw this during my last visit here. After ordering, please do not crowd the counter waiting for your food/drink. Please step back and allow other patrons to place their orders and avoid confusion.“
